plays through both the speaker and headset if the speaker on/off switch is
turned on.
4. Volume Control: Turn this control to set the volume required on the speaker
or headset. This control does not affect the tone alert level or the program
input level.
5. Sidetone Control: Sidetone is the level of your own voice that you hear while
talking on the intercom. Setting a comfortable level of sidetone will ensure
that the intercom line sounds alive and also helps you modulate your voice
relative to other voices on the line.
Typically, different sidetone null settings are needed depending upon whether
you are using the speaker. Use one of the following procedures to correctly
set the sidetone level control.
Sidetone Adjustment Procedure for Headset:
1. Set the intercom level control to a comfortable level by having someone
talk to you from another station.
2. Press the talk button and speak into the microphone while turning the
sidetone null control slowly back and forth until you hear your voice at a
comfortable level in the headset.
Sidetone Adjustment Procedure for Gooseneck Mic (KB-702GM only) or
hand-held push-to-talk mic with the speaker turned on:
1. Set the VOX control fully counterclockwise to disable this feature.
2. Set the intercom level control to a comfortable level.
3. Press the talk button and speak into the microphone while turning the
sidetone null control slowly back and forth. There should be a point
where your voice (and any accompanying acoustic feedback) disappears.
This is the null point.
4. Readjust the VOX control. (Refer to the VOX control paragraph in this
section.)
6. Program Level Control: Adjust the program level control to set the program
audio level heard in the headset or panel speaker.
Note: Do not force the trimpots past their stop points. This will damage
them.
7. Speaker On/Off Switch: The speaker on/off switch turns the front panel
speaker on or off. This switch also controls whether the tone alert is heard
through the speaker. The speaker volume will automatically dip whenever
the talk function is set, unless the VOX function is disabled.
8. Mic Select Switch (KB-702GM only): The mic select switch selects whether
the panel microphone or the headset microphone is active. If the VOX
feature is enabled, it is only operational when the panel microphone is active.
9. Channel Switch: This switch selects whether the speaker station is active on
intercom channel A or channel B.
10. Headset Connector: The headset connector is located on the front panel. All
Clear-Com headsets are recommended for use with the KB-702. The
Clear-Com handheld push-to-talk microphone will also plug into the
headset connector. The following is a description of the characteristics of a
suitable headset:
